, |iol lier in the face,and read wonder and tenor minding together there. <\Ve have carried away the spanker, sir,’ shou ,fj the captain of the after guard, as he went •cross the deck like lightning, in a fold of the tattced canvass. ‘Let it go, and be d d,’ said the officer of ,hc deck. •Cant over the spanker boom you lubbers; brace the yards to the wind.’ shouted the captain, and went like the turning of the spokes of a wind, mill wheel. •Here she comes,’ shouted the starboard cat head watch, as he jumped from his post and landed upon the cook’s head, who had at that moment popped it out of the gaily hatch, to catch a view of the surrounding country, which accor ding to the Irishman’s geography, was plaguy near an island, for it was entirely surrounded by water. •Gorry mighty, shipped a sea, with short jack et and breeches,’ said cuffias he rolled down on the gun deck with his tormentors in the slack of the astonished look-out-man s unmentionables, who followed him like a clap of thunder after a flash of black lightning. •You be buttered, you son of a see cook,’ said Jack, kicking the Guineaman’s shin with his gtorin-stay boots, and cutting his toasting fork adrift with his knife. ‘A pretty affair you are, to interfere with a man oh duty ; why, d’ye see, if vou had been down in your smoke house, I should have had a decent fall, and been upon duty with a whole spanker sheet again ; but you, you old woolly headed son of Nebuchadnezzar’s grand inarm, when she eats grass, with Heshic, Two shick, and to bed they went; you must get in my way. and injure my two pronged sceptre, and be blessed to you. Belay there you black jaw, or I’ll cheapen your ivory.’ After this burst of natural eloquence, .lack went upon deck ; while the darkey hobbled to the galley, muttering,‘Ho ho, Mr. Jack, never mind, I’ll sweeten your broffyet—yah ! yah ! yah! yah! ‘While this rough and tumble was carried on ■below, we must not for one moment suppose that ■he hubbub above had ceased. When the cat licad watch sang out‘here she comes,’ he had no allusion to a sea. A moment more,and the three Idecker was°near at hand —on one side, and pt retching out to leeward, was the ledge, and to Iwindward was their consort, unmanageable, in the a- t of running them down, ‘Hard up your pielin,’ shouted the officer of the deck; but it was |oolate; the Culloden came sweeping down like a deer before the houuds. Her main mast totter- Li in its step, her top-sails hung in tatters —the lib hung flapping against her sides —the waters gurgled along her careering guns—and, then, to ■complete the horror of the scene, the men at the wheel were thiown senseless upon the deck. |She broached to for a moment, then away went |her top-masts and flying-jib, and down came her main mast with an awful crash. ? *We are lost!’ shouted an old seaman to his [mess-mate in the corvette’s rigging. ‘There is no hope,’ said the captain, as he stood calmly amid a dozen officers, holding on to the companion railing—‘good bye, gentlemen—God bless you—you have done your duty.’ ‘Oh God,’shrieked a sailor’s wife, as she ran across that sorrowful deck, and pressed her infant to her breast, ‘my husband !my child !’ At this moment the captain of the corvette sprung to her eide ; he looked at the old quartermaster, her hus band, who stood at th t wheel. ‘No hope,’ said the old sea dog; ‘farewell, Bess, and my darling.’ It was enough ; in a moment the sailor’s wife and child were launched into the deep, and floa ted astern on a grating, while the captain, with a fixed look, stood at his quarters. ‘Crash came the Culloden upon her consort, bnd in a moment the corvette went down in the dark waters, and the heavy three decker passed over her. •Wild was the yell that rose above that mid night wave to heaven —dreadful was the gurgle tof the billows as it closed over ‘pennons, spar and silk.’ A moment, and she rode the waters like a thing o of life—another, and the sea snake crawled through her port holes, and slimy things sported upon her decks of glory. ‘Breakers ahead !’ shouted the master of the Culloden, as she coursed along on her cruise of death. ‘We cannot weather them, unless we clear the wreck,’ said the commodore. ‘Cullodens away, clear the wreck, thundered the first lieutenant, and throwing down the trum pet, he caught an axe, and headed the gallant waisters. j ‘Away went the wreck, with a tremendous jrrash ; a single sea broke over the poop, sweep ing as though a fire had passed over it, and then |he old three decker hauled her wind, and shot past fthc ledge like a flash of light. ‘We are clear,’said the commodore, breathing « long breath—‘can you see anything of our con porl’s wreck 1’ I ‘A white mass is floating upon the water to windward, sir,’ cried the signal midshipman, f ‘lt is a woman and a ch Id,’ said the quarter blaster ; let us save her. An hundred persons, pllicers and men, now hung over the sides with topes—the sea having become much smoother inside the reef—and soon the quartermaster s wi (dow and child lay dead upon the vessel s deck. I ‘No hope,’ said the doctors of the Culloden, (filming awav from the bodies with eyes filled with tears. ‘Let them I>o buried with their messmates,’ said Ihe commodore, in a husky voice. The bodies were soon sewed in one hammock, and then wish a seaman’s prayer, they were launched torth to join the swollen hundreds that danced upon the agitated billows cold in death. ‘Morningcame, and with it a calm ; the ocean was like a sleeping mill-pond ; the light house stood solitary at a distance —the Culloden lay at anchor in without a spar —a part ol a wreck rested upon the dead man’s ledge—upon its laffrail a lonely heron perched, and the wave, as it gently broke against the toot of the rocks and washed the sand from the stern, showed to the gaze ot the beholder the name of the gallant Blenheim.’ Muscat. — Hunt’s Magazine for July lets us into some knowledge of our commercial relations with the Imaum of Muscat, not tu speak of a great [variety of other valuable mercantile intelligence. The business of his Muscatel Highness being at [present of most importance in our eyes, we shall endeavor to give some account of it, though we neglect, the remainder of the table of contents. The province of Oman is in the northeastern part of Arabia, the coast extending from below Uulhant to the entrance of the Persian Gulf. It is governed by an intelligent,-temporal and spirit ual chief, who is called the Imaum, and resides at Muscat. Muscat is in latitude 23 degrees 38 minutes mfHh, longitude 58 degrees 41 minutes east. The harbor is excellent —the population is about 40,000. The city is tilled with the mer chandise of India, Persia and Arabia, which is admirably protected by the laws and police. All the ports along the coast are tributary to the Im aum, Socotra, Brava, Zanzilar, '1 emba, Monfia and other points, as well as Kishraa and Ormuez «n the Persian Gulf, and a large portion of the Persian coast around Gombroon. His navy is nearly as large as ours, well manned and in com plete order, and he commands it himself. His power is acknowledged, and his friendship sought by all the sovereigns around him. Muscat was, till lately, largely engaged in the opium trade with China. In 1835, a treaty was made between the United States and the Imaum, and in consequence the Sulla nee is the first Arabian ship ever seen in our waters. We gather from the Merchants’ Maga zine that the advantages to be derived from the above mentioned treaty are as follows, viz: An in teased supply of Mocha coffee, as well as of Arabian Indigo, which is nearly as good as that of India. The “accia vera, or accia Arabia,” from which Gum Arabic is obtained, is abundant, and the drug is in great demand here. Dates are an important article of traffic. Lead and copper cotton stuffs, camels’ hair, Thibet and Cashernere shawls, Arabian horses, balsam, frankincense, myrrh, senna, tamarinds and balm of Gilead are also among the products and exports of Oman, and find a market in many ports of the Indian Ocean. On the other hand the new trade t hus opened to us, will opon a mart for the staple of this country, so that the exchange will be profita ble to both parlies.— JV. Y. Sun. From the Louisville Literary News Letter. The Bride. BY AMELIA. A fringe of dewy leaves along the branches droop, That overhang the cottage eaves, where stand a bridal group; In fair and laughing bands,the maidens far and wide Have brought fresh roses in their hands, to deck the fair young bride. Before the man of prayer, they slowly gathered round, As silent as the floating air, that floats without a sound, As with a downcast brow, close to her lover’s side, Comes forth, in raiment white as snow, the young and timid bride. How beautiful she seems, as o’er her soft brown hair The sunset flings its go d«i gleams, and forms a halo there; While o’er her features play, the love she cannot hide, Whose soft expression seems to say, I am thy hap py bride. No cold vain look is there, but all is soft and meek; Upon her virgin forehead fair, and o’er her dimpled cheek, A something soft and warm, that round her seems to glide, Involves as with a heavenly charm the young and and spotless bride. There’s a whispered vow of love, as side by side they stand, And the drawing of a snow-white glove, from a lit tie trembling hand; And the glitter ot a ring, and a tear that none may chide, — Those, these have changed that girlish thing, and she is now a bride. No shade is on her brow —she feels without a fear The trusting love that all may know, who wed in their own sphere; For he who clasps her frame, all flush’d with love and pride, Bestows on her an honest name, and takes her for his bride. Sweet bride! he’ll ne’er forget, when neath thy fa ther’s cot He met thee like a violet, within a shady spot. Thro’ all the balmy air, and breathing world beside, There’s nought to him so soft and fair, as thou his blessed bride. Sweet tie! that, links as one two spirits fond and true — What, what is all that time has done, or all that time can do! Recorded vows of love, in heaven fore’er abide And none shall part, save One above, the bride groom and the bride. The Snuff-taking Statue. —We have often heard of mistaking the shadow for the substance; in the present instance we have to describe the case inverted. An English officerin Venice walk ing one day from the Doge’s palace, thought he observed one of the figures on the clock-tower of St. Mark’s stoop down and take up something! He looked again, and lie positively saw the figure take a pinch of snutF! The officer confessed that he was apprehensive he was losing his senses, or that his vision was deranged; when an old woman, ob serving his consternation, soon explained the seem ing miracle, by telling him that one of the figures that struck the hour being out of repair, her nephew Jarope was engaged as a substitute till the ma chinery was put in order. — Bentley's Miscellany for June, IS4U. Characteristic.—The Federal Loco-Focos in Maine recently burnt Gen. Harrison in effigy. They did the same thing of Mr. Madison, and Mr. Reuel Williams, now a Van Burcn U. S. Senator, assissing in the outrage. The correspondent of the Boston Atlas calls Buchanan, the great advocate of a reduction of wages, the Bucckancering Senator. More Facts for Bachelors. —The Jour nal of Commerce says : “ Os 169 convicts in the Connecticut State prision 104 were never mar ried; and of the residue, 11 have lost their wives and 22 had parted from theirs when the crimes were committed which carried them to prison.

Since our report of Wednesday morning last the cotton market has remained in an extremely inac tive s ate, the daily sales having only averaged about 450 bales. This inactivity may in some de gree be ascribed ta a limited demand, as buyers, generally, have not manifested much disposition to operate, though it is principally owing, we be lieve, to the smallness of the stock of cotton on sale, and to its being composed, in a great measure, of the ordinary and middling descriptions, which are now treated vvith considerable neglect. The better sorts, however, are in tolerably fair request, and, in consequence of their great scarcity, continue to command very full prices. The number of vessels now loading with cotton is unusually large for the season, and the stock is rapidly diminishing by the daily clearances. Wc continue our p iC vious quo tations, remarking that holders, notwithstanding the present limited demand, are generady pretty firm. The sales during the week amount to 6400 bales, and for the last three days to about 1350. LIVERPOOL CLASSIFICATIONS.
